Innovating Research!https://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/lriu
Documents research carried out by Library Service Innovation Officers Alejandro, Gaz & Jen. Hopefully this will keep our colleagues informed of what’s going on, but forgive us if occasionally we diverge into topics that are perhaps closer to our hearts.en-GB(C) 2019 Jenny Delasallehttps://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rssJenny DelasalleJenny DelasalleWarwick Blogs, University of Warwick, https://blogs.warwick.ac.uk120Tagging vs structured metadata by Jenny Delasallehttps://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/lriu/entry/tagging_vs_structured/

<p>Who needs metadata anyway? Can&rsquo;t we all just use tags? Aren&rsquo;t they better at describing content with words that our users will want to use to find that content? Metadata is just for browsing to find content and who really browses?</p>
<p>Just playing devil&rsquo;s advocate! There is some interesting investigation into these types of issues in the presentation I&rsquo;ve linked to which discusses metadata from a very knowledgeable standpoint, and I find that very refreshing.</p>MetadataSocial BookmarkingTaggingTagsWeb 2-0Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:42:49 GMTJenny Delasallehttps://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/lriu/entry/tagging_vs_structured/#comments094d73991491f6aa01158a273fc736c70
